Geoff Downes

holy SHIT it's been a weird day.

shit.

so. i buy like 80% of my purchases online. so i'm getting stuff delivered to me all the time. the mail people know i live right thar, if no one's here they drop off at my house. sometimes they do even if it's addressed here.
stopped at my house about 11, there was a big package on my doorstep.

i'm not expecting anything large, and it had a "Customs Form Filled Out Wrong" sticker on it, and they had my shop's address and Barbara Gomez as the return address. gave me a verrrry uncomfy feeling, so i took it to the shop, opened it carefully. it had wood supports for the box, then another box inside with thin wood on the inside. inside THAT....

was about 8 packages of vacuum sealed weed. proooobably a lb each. hella stinky when we slit one open. i was like, "um. call the COPS.". we did. they just came and picked it up, kinda acted like we were stupid not to just keep it.

my little brother is LIVID. lol.

"what? if you found a winning lottery ticket you'd just be all, 'humper dider DOO. this isn't mine. guess i should BURN IT.'??!? ASSHOLE."

ASSHOLE.

[behndy]

lol. yah. if i smoked weed i might feel diffeeent? but man. i haven't done drugs in so long. i'm just not part of that circle and i want separation. crazy shit has happened where they drop off drugs as a sting (that Rock movie Snitch was about that happening), and i just want separation from all that.

sure we probably could have moved it quick for $5 or $10 g's, but i don't want anything to do with all that.

kinda sucks ass trying to live honestly sometimes.

[D.o.S.]

I mean, I don't smoke either, but they can't bust you if you're giving it away, right?

Like a yard sale. But with weed. For free.

I remember reading about something like that a year or so ago...the idea (IIRC) is that the weed is shipped to a pre-selected address somewhere near the intended recipient's home/business/etc (same street but slightly different house number or something) and with tracking, so both shipper and recipient know when it's been dropped. Later, the intended recipient shows up asking if the pkg had been 'accidentally' delivered to you rather than to them (thus, the similar address). The idea is that you take the fall is the pkg is found while en route and tracked by the cops. You may have someone at the door later on...


- edit - this also assumes that you haven't opened the pkg...the weak spot in the whole scam, IMO, but it's apparently worked before.

8 lbs would likely be considered as intent to distribute.

It was have looked awesome as a For Trade post here...and would have done very well...

Behndy, I'm disappointed the story didn't go - "so I called the cops an gave them the "six" packages, like any good citizen would"

[behndy]

thaaaaat's where my little brother's disappointment comes in.

thing is, the lbs were gooped together with this foamy glue. so it would be SUPER obvious if i took out a few.

and yah. we thought about the Dealers Looking For They Shit. if someone DOES show up, i'm taking a picture surreptitiously if possible, telling them "it was someone else's name, so i gave it back to the post lady", and keeping a hand on my shotty.

we keep guns at the shop too.

i'm not gonna lie.... shit WAS tempting. i could find some uses for the money. i just want nothing to do with all that. jail shit SKEERS me. why i don't do all the illegal shit i'd love to do.

not gonna risk over something silly like weed or a nice ass espensive Dinger.

[My name is Mudd]

If it helps any...I DO smoke, and I wouldn't touch that stuff for anything. I think you did the right (as in - safe) thing by calling PD.

[behndy]

yah. i feel fine about it. again, big ass box of money.... dunno. i gots morals but if it's something that helps me a lot that cops are just going to pocket when no one's looking, or politician's are going to "legally" steal...... yah.

URG.

[Deltaphoenix]

WOW. What a craycray incident.

I would do something similar, even though a 10 Gs would be handy...real handy.

[behndy]

lol. oh hell yeah. i could use the money. but that's crazy weight. the cops probably split it up after they left, and have at it. i just don't roll like that anymore.

[My name is Mudd]

Yeah...like I said, there's a difference between holding a Z or two and eight pounds. That weight will get you a nice room, and possibly friendly roommate, in the fed pen.
